    Note: Pin 16 not used on TB1, TB2, and TB3. Optimized Transfer When the Liebert STS2 is used as a primary-side switch—on the primary of an isolation trans- former—optimized transfer greatly reduces the transformer magnetization current during automatic transfers through a new transfer control algorithm. The Liebert algorithm (patent pending) optimizes the transfer timing so that the volt-seconds applied to the downstream transformer primary is bal- anced, minimizing peak saturation current.

  • Page 65: Introduction To Liebert Sts2 Operations

    NTRODUCTION TO System Description A Liebert STS2 provides an automatic, seamless transfer between input power sources to an output load. The Liebert STS2 monitors the input sources, to ensure each source is operating within set parameters, as well as ensure that each source is within acceptable tolerances for a transfer between sources to be completed.
  • Page 66: Reliability And Agency Requirements

    For a transfer to be completed between input sources, the sources must meet certain parameters, or the transfer cannot take place. Uninterrupted transfer between sources is inhibited due to input source failure, sources out of sync, switch failure, or the unit is in bypass mode. Introduction to Liebert STS2 Operations...
  • Page 67: Bypass

    8.2.4 Bypass The static transfer switch can be manually bypassed to allow the power from a source to directly flow to the output load. This bypass allows the unit’s electronics to be serviced without dangerous voltages being present. The Liebert STS2 includes key-interlocked maintenance bypass breakers that allow either input source’s electronics to be bypassed for maintenance without interruption of power to the load.
  • Page 68: Theory Of Operation

    9.1.1 Liebert STS2 Static Transfer Switch The Liebert STS2 is a 3-pole, double-throw, solid state automatic transfer switch that is fed from two sources. The Preferred source is the input source that normally carries the load when both sources are available.
  • Page 69: Emergency Transfer

    Liebert STS2 automatically triggers an alarm and trips open the other source isolation breaker. In the event of an open SCR, the switch automatically triggers an alarm and transfers the load to the other source. All open and shorted SCR alarm conditions are latched and require the system to be repaired and reset to restore normal operation.
  • Page 70: Circuit Breakers

    All switches in the Liebert STS2 are plug-in types, which allows any switch to be replaced without de- energizing the output bus. The Merlin Gerin breakers have an interlock in the plug-in base, which prevents the switch from being withdrawn in the CLOSED position.
  • Page 71: Logic Modules

    9.2.4 Logic Modules The logic contains three separate redundant logic modules. The modules contain the logic necessary to run the Liebert STS2 and control transfers and shunt trips under all circumstances, without any outside assistance once set-up and started properly. 9.2.5 Audible Alarm An audible alarm is installed on the control board.
  • Page 72: Operating Instructions For The Touch Screen Interface

    Contact your local Emerson Network Power representative or Liebert Services at 1-800-543-2378 to arrange for equipment inspection and startup.
  • Page 73: Normal System Turn-On

    8. Verify that boxes for the preferred source and corresponding static transfer switch are highlighted on the Mimic screen, indicating which side of the Static Transfer Switch is on. 9. Close Output Breaker CB3 (and CB3A in redundant output configurations).
  • Page 74: Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection

    Without using bypass, if a failure occurs in the switch components for remaining source, the Liebert STS2 does not have a second source to switch to and the load would not receive power. See Maintenance Bypass on page 67 for bypass instructions.
  • Page 75: Enabling Remote Source Selection

    The Liebert STS2 is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow man- ual bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for mainte- nance of the switch. Refer to the static transfer switch one-line diagram (Figure 3). While operating on maintenance bypass, all voltages are removed from the Liebert STS2 electronics to facilitate safe repair, without de-energizing the load using a make-before-break switching sequence.

    To bypass the switch for Source 1: NOTE If you wish to bypass the Source 1 static transfer switch but Source 2 is presently active, you must first transfer to Source 1. See Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection on page 66.
  • Page 78: Bypass Procedures For Source 2

    To bypass the switch for Source 2: NOTE To bypass the Source 2 static transfer switch when Source 1 is presently active, you must first transfer to Source 2. See Manual Transfer / Preferred Source Selection on page 66. 1. Verify Source 2 is supplying power via the Mimic.
  • Page 79: Alarm And Faults

    These events can provide a warning or trigger the system to make a change, such as switch sources or the recording of a history log.
  • Page 80: Event And History Logs

    The History Log allows you to replay the events leading up to the alarm and the events right after the alarm to see the status of the switch at that time and diagnose the cause of the alarm. The History Log is triggered when certain events are tripped that have the Freeze option enabled.
  • Page 81: Alarm Notes

    These events indicate a device failure. The device must be replaced and the system must be restarted for the fault to clear. A shorted SCR automatically trips open a source input switch (CB1 or CB2) to prevent transfers in the event of an SCR failure. The SCR failure must be investigated and repaired before returning the switch to normal operation.

    Without using bypass, if a failure occurs in the switch components for remaining source, the Liebert STS2 does not have a second source to switch to and the load would not receive power. See 14.2.3 - Maintenance Bypass on page 108 for bypass instructions.
  • Page 115 5. Push the Preferred Source button for the desired source. See Table 15 on page 104. The Preferred Source (LED_PREFx) LED turns on for that source. When conditions are correct, the switch transfers the load to the alternate source by selecting the alternate source as the preferred source.
  • Page 116: Maintenance Bypass

    The Liebert STS2 is equipped with two key-interlocked, bypass breakers, CB4 and CB5, to allow man- ual bypass of the switch electronics for either input source in the event of switch failure or for mainte- nance of the switch. Refer to the static transfer switch one-line diagram (Figure 3). While operating on maintenance bypass, all voltages are removed from the Liebert STS2 electronics to facilitate safe repair, without de-energizing the load using a make-before-break switching sequence.
